Mobile Phone Digital Consent Authentication System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current customer authentication methods are cumbersome and prone to errors, leading to potential regulatory penalties due to difficulties in verifying identity and obtaining consent, which can be lost or not properly recorded.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a mobile phone to receive authentication and consent requests, generating a PIN, and using the phone's data and functionalities for robust authentication protocols, including biometric scans and data matching, to securely authenticate customers and record their consent digitally.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional authentication methods are used, then the process is simple, but the authentication is difficult and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile phone serves multiple functions: it stores customer data, performs biometric authentication, generates secure codes, and provides digital consent capabilities. This multi-functional approach replaces multiple separate authentication tools and processes with a single device, making the process easier while maintaining or improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a digital intermediary layer between the customer and the authentication system. This includes using mobile phone data as an intermediate verification step, digital consent platforms as intermediaries for recording agreements, and automated systems that mediate the authentication process to reduce manual errors
2Reliability
If manual consent tracking is used, then the process is simple, but consent records can be lost or not properly recorded
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service consent management where customers can view, confirm, and manage their own consent records through the mobile platform. The system automatically tracks and stores consent information without requiring manual intervention from sales representatives, reducing errors while maintaining simplicity for end users
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where consent information is immediately confirmed and stored in a centralized database. The system provides real-time feedback to both the customer and the service provider about consent status, ensuring proper recording and reducing the risk of lost records through automated verification loops
3Reliability
If robust authentication protocols are implemented, then security is improved, but the authentication process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple authentication methods (biometric scanning, data matching, secure code generation) into a unified mobile phone-based platform. By combining these functions into a single integrated system rather than separate processes, the complexity is managed more efficiently while maintaining robust security
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of customer data and authentication records stored securely on the mobile phone and in centralized databases. These digital copies enable verification without requiring physical documents or manual processes, improving security while streamlining the authentication experience
Data Source
AI summary
A method for enhancing customer authentication and consent for finalizing an offer to a customer of a product and/or a service is provided. The method may include using a first receiver to receive an authentication request from an initiator. The authentication request may include a customer name and a customer phone number. The method may also include using a first processor to generate a pin number and transmit the pin number to the customer phone number. The pin number may include an identifier associated with the product and/or service. The method may further include using a second receiver, included in a mobile phone, to receive the pin number, and using a second processor, included on the mobile phone, to authenticate the pin number. The authentication may include verifying a match between the customer phone number and a mobile phone number associated with the mobile phone.
